What are your thoughts on the Lemmy ecosystem?

I've been trying it out for the last week. I have my own opinions, but I'd like to hear others and see if we have common ideas on what is good/bad/indifferent about the Lemmy ecosystem.

Lemmy.world has a bunch of memes and political screeching because that's the kind of user its admins choose to encourage.

How are the admins encouraging these users specifically? I have not noticed this, but I have been blocking most politics and meme communities for a while.

    tldr: they prove in real time that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter

    longer: the biggest three reasons to me are:

    1. they look the other way when their users are clearly using automated means to down vote & brigade leftist viewpoints.

    2. they block entire instances with viewpoints they disagree with through defederation like a nanny state instead of letting you make the decision for yourself as a adult.

    3. they ignore comments personally attacking leftists users even though it's against their own instance's rules, but are hyper vigilant on known leftist commenters.
